I love most, if not all of their albums really, but Sunset Misson and Black Earth in particular - are outstanding. It may very well be the two albums I've listened to the most in the last five or six years. Seeing them live was a magic experience.


Sunset Mission and Black Earth are superb albums. Those actually are the only albums I know well by the band, and I only got into it in recent years (last five or six years maybe).

Not a great year for me, like the top but less depth...


It's not the greatest year for me for quantity for sure, but to me there is some outstanding quality in various releases. And looking at other people's choices, there are various ones I should have in my AP list. And no doubt there are many quality ones from the year I have not heard yet that would appeal, and I expect that various of those would get listed (can't judge what I have not discovered yet, of course).

Aside from those I mentioned, I have very much liked the 5uu's Regarding Purgatories (that's been a fave of mine) and Alamaailman Vasarat - Vasaraasia. And I have appreciated the Birdsongs.

From David's (Guldy's) list I forgot about OOIOO and I love Coil, but my biggest omission (sinful for me really) is Pram's Museum of Imaginary Animals. It's actually the first Pram album I loved. I love that album and it should have been in my top ten. I took my list from what I have at Awesome Prog and a few lists I overwrote by mistake (used to have it in my list). Amended here and exported with top 11 since those are the most significant to me (order matters not that much).

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (listened extensively)
Radiohead - Kid A
Broadcast - The Noise Made By People [AP Non-Prog]
Bohren & der Club of Gore - Sunset Mission
Pram - The Museum Of Imaginary Animals
Juana Molina - Segundo (listened often) [AP Non-Prog]
Air - The Virgin Suicides (Soundtrack) [AP Prog]
Ulver - Perdition City: Music to an Interior Film (Soundtrack)
Boris - Flood
Sufjan Stevens - A Sun Came (listened often) [AP]
Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country (EP, several listens) [AP Non-Prog]

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Also happy to see Amon Tobin mentioned (and Guldbamsen posting again). The Broadcast album is outstanding, and Radiohead and GSYBE canonical, but I think I have quite some choice in this year.

Fates Warning - Disconnected is one of my favorites of 2000.
Kevin Moore who played keyboards on Disconnected released his second Chroma Key album in 2000 - You Go Now. Great album (IMO).

I did one for 1970 and 2010, and here's one for 2000. I imagine people's faves here would be generally much more limited for 2000 than 1970, but also some do favour more modern music than the more "classic" (or classic Prog era) stuff...

Please mention up to 10 (or more if desired) albums from 2000, and please try to comment on other's selections. One doesn't need to even make one's own list, some find that harder than others, and one can just comment on whatever choices one sees and likes from other people's lists. This is intended for any live or studio, LP or EP or boxset releases from 2000, Prog or not, in PA or not. The main idea behind this was to make a more interactive list making topic that is not limited to Prog where we not only list our favourites but look at other people choices and comment on what we like or finding interesting in those, with an emphasis on the positive.

---------------------------------------------

Ten of my favourites That Sufjan Stevens might well have been first released in 1999.

Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (Post Rock)
Radiohead - Kid A (Art Rock, Electronic)
Broadcast - The Noise Made By People (Neo-Psychedelia, Indietronica, Dream/Ambient Pop)
Juana Molina - Segundo (Folktronica, Singer-Songwriter, Art Pop)
Bohren & der Club of Gore - Sunset Mission (Dark Jazz)
Air - The Virgin Suicides (Film Score, Ambient Pop, Art Rock)     
Ulver - Perdition City (Music to an Interior Film) (Trip Hop, Electronic...)
Boris - Flood (Post-Rock, Drone)
Sufjan Stevens - A Sun Came (or first released in 1999) (Singer-Songwriter, Indie Folk, Indie Rock)     
Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country EP (IDM, Downtempo)     

And five more:
PJ Harvey - Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea (Alternative Rock, Singer-Songwriter)
Silver Mt. Zion - He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace The Corner Of Our Rooms (Post-Rock, Chamber Music, Modern Classical)
Volapük- Polyglot (Avant-Prog)     
Sheena Ringo 椎名林檎 - 勝訴ストリップ (Shōso Strip) (Shimokita-kei, Noise Pop)
Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out (Dream Pop, Indie Rock)

That Volapük used to be a favourite of mine, but I have not listened to it in many years. I've only listened to that Yo La Tengo once

--------------------------------------------

And here are the top ten in PA's charts:

Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element - Part 1 (Prog Metal)
Spock's Beard - V (Symphonic Prog)
Symphony X - V - The New Mythology Suite (Prog Metal)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (Post Rock)
Kevin Gilbert - The Shaming of the True (Crossover Prog)
SMPT:e - Transatlantic (Symohonic Prog)
Fates Warning - Disconnected (Prog Metal)
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun (Heavy Prog)
IQ - The Seventh House (Neo-Prog)
Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris (Tech/Extreme Prog Metal)
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.
